Haha. You are a rare breed, man. You can hang out on I-think-MV-F4s-are-ugly Island with the other 6 inhabitants. I dig.
I don't agree with him much, but I do in this case. Something about that headlight/front end that I just don't like. I'd much rather have the Panigale.
I dunno. I have always thought the front end looks like a bag of hammered assholes. I think the first time i saw an MV was actually on this forum and people were talking about how good it looked. I scrolled up and down to make sure they were seeing the same bike i was. That is my hangup with the BMW right now. I love the capabilities of the bike, especially with the big changes they made to the 2012...i just cant get past the headlights matching. :down: WTF? Im leaning towards the RSV4. Still doing some research though because it will eventually be a race bike. Normally i just pull the trigger on shit, but im trying to do some research and actually make an informed decision on this one. But if it was between an MV or Panigale, absolutely the Panigale. I would pay $5k for a Panigale before i took a free MV.
I wonder if BMW will put stock (asymmetrical) headlight stickers on their WSBK bike next year or will they be the same on each side.
you might as well go ahead and hook up the jumper cables to your sensitive parts + grab a BFH and smash yourself with it...it will be less painful than the abuse your about to endur
